I am planning to form a corporation and the Ficticious name will be under the corporation. Do I still need a Ficticious name?
• Yes if the dba name is different than the corporation name. If so, and you want to start right away under the dba name, keep in mind a corporation takes considerably longer to form. A dba Registered as an sole owne is the fastest and least expensive way to start accepting checks in the name of the business. Later when your business is better, you may want to form a corporation and Apply, Register & Get another Ficticious name under it.
